"A Syracuse dispatch says that
:'enator-elect Hiscock is criticised be-
..ause, in his speech to his friends at
home, he chad not one good word to
say about Republican harmony and the
future of the party" Evidently Mr..
Hiscock did not want to expose himself
to the cry of "chestnuts. IN. Y. Post.
Mr.. Blaine is reported rs saying:
"Senator Dawes can not afford to ac-
cept his election under such circum-
stances. If were in his place l would
resign and let another election take
place." This because some Democrats
voted for Dawes. Perhaps Mr.. Blaine
over-estimates his self-sacrificing devo-
ton to the party. Would he have OBJ
jected to few thousand Democratic
votes in 'S4P-Iadiana State Journal.
There has undoubtedly been
much opposition to the Administration
in some sections of the South, sonia ex-
pressed and some uneXpressed, but the
work of the Administration has been so
strong and admirable that what there
was of this is gradually dying out.
Alabama certainly has no war to make
on the President, and the lesson taught
in Indiana and in North Carolina in
the last election ought to show the folly
of such war; ar.-Montgomery ADVERTISER.
The Miller managers, who have
been the workers of the Republican or

four years, are much depressed in

valuable in the organization say that a
return of Thomas G. Platt, j. j. Belden,
George II. Sharp and William b.
Woodin to the front means Blaine s
nomination and an Elkins and Platt
canvass in 1888; in other words, an af-
front to the intelligence and decency
still left in that party.-Albany argus.

According to the report Of the Ne
braska horticultural Society the State
has now about 100000 acres of growing
forests, in which have been set 600, ,000,-
600 young trees. Besides these there
have been planted over 10000, 900 fruit
trees, over 2,500,00 grape vines. u vast
number of berry bushes and plants, and
countless quantities of ornamental
shrubs.
On the Transcaspian railroad, in
Russia, it is claimed that saving Of
$500 per mile is effected by the use of
mineral wax, or ozokerite, for ties.
When purified, melted and mixed with
limestone and gravel, the ozokerite,
which is abundant in the vicinity of the
railroad. produces very good asphalt.
This is pressed into shape in boxes; and
gives ties which retain their form and
| hardness even in the hottest weather.
The Lewiston (Me.) Journal gives
| some statistics that afford an indication

The average catch of Holsters on tho
Maine coast has been 100000 yearly
| for thirty years, or nearly 500, 100000
during that period. About 200.000,00O
have been used by the factories at an
average cost of one cent each. Doubt
less they have paid $2,000,000 to the
fishermen. The marketmen have paid
100000 more to the lobster catchers
in the last thirty years.
The Prince of Monaco has been oc-
cupying his spare time in a scientific
manner. He has been studying the
speed of ocean currents by means of o
series of experiments made from the
deck of his yacht, the Hirondelle. Be-
fore the close of the summer he sub
merged 500 bottles off the coast of the
Channel in the latitude of Paris. and
some of them have already been found
on the coast of Portugal. The Prince
hopes to be able to find out, by the time
of the arrival of the bottles on the dis
tant coasts, the minimum force of the
currents, scientific problem hitherto
unsolved.
1t is a remarkable fact, to which at
tention has recently been called by the
English scientific journal. Nature, that
the lowest barometrical measurement
ever observed anywhere in the world on
land, after being reduced so as to cor
respond with sea-level, have been regis
tered in the British Isles within three
wears. One of these was at Belmullet,
, in the west of Ireland, on December 9,
1881, when the barometer fell to nearly
twenty-seven inches. A very severe
storm followed, destroying many lives
and much property.

EARLY AvARlCE.
4 Vice Which Once Planted in the Charac-
ter Grows with Incredible Rapidity.

A Vice which Once Planted in the Charac-
ter Grows with Incredible Rapidity.
The newspapers frequently contain
accounts of old men and women who
live in want while they are boarding
large sums of money. Avarice is re.
pulsivc vice of the aged, but in the
young it is against nature. Yet. if it
is once planted in Il child's character,
it grows with incredible rapidity and
strength.
A young woman, the last scion of q
respectable family, lived in one of our
inland towns, supporting herself by
sewing. She occupied one bare cham
Der, in such poverty as to perplex her
friends, who knew that she had twice
inherited large legacies. She became
ill with an agonizing disease, brought
on, the physician said, by lack of sutfi-
cient food, and grew weaker, day by
day, until she could not leave her bed.
Her physician, knowing that she had
money hidden, spoke frankly to her ut
last, telling her that her life depended
on her taking tonics and rich, nourish-
ing food, which her poor neighbors
could not buy. 'If you do not take
this food you will not live week." he
said. The girl remained thoughtful
and quiet when he was gone. After a
few hours she bade her nurses bring u
chest which was in the room near to her
bed so that she could reach it. The key
she kept under her pillow. As one day
after another passed, she would occa-
sion ally finger the key and look visit
fully at the chest; but she did not open
it. On the sixth day she died. In the
last struggle with death she held out
the key, motioning to her nurse to open
the chest. But it was too late. During
all those days she had weighed her gold
against her life. The money was the
dearer of the two. Though she knew
she could not carry it with her, she
could not bring herself to spend dol
lar of it.
A still more horrible example of the
effect of avarice was reported in the
French journals last winter. An old
woman, living with her children, had
possession of sum less than hundred
dollars. To force her to give it up,
they literally burned her alive.
We all shudder at a passion which
can so brutalize human beings. Yet
how many men are moved by it under
some other name. Here is wealthy
woman who fills every closet in her
house with costly china, at which she
never looks; or man who buys vast
tracts of land which he neither culti-
Yates nor sells. The sole use OF either
money or goods in this world is to make
some living being wiser or better or
happier. The man who hinders this
purpose, to crafty his love of boarding,
is miser, though he may give himself
some more honorable title.- Yo"ths

WORTHY OF PENSIONS.

The Brave Men Who Lost Their Lives for
Another Should BE Honored in the Per-
sons of Their Families.
Saturday last two colored men lost
their lives near Annapolis, Nd, in the
noble but vain endeavor to save q fell
low-man who had broken through ice
and was struggling for life. Both
men, it is said, left dependent fami-
lies. And what of them? Will
they be left to struggle with
the world and battle for bread,
while the heroism displayed by their
natural protectors is unrecognized and
unrewarded save by unsatisfactory. and
unsubstantial praiseP Are not the
families of these men entitled to
pension from Government that is con-
stituted by the people for the people?
The friends of Walt Whitman, the
venerable poet, who is poor and worthy
of pension, but who is not entitled to
one under the laws of this country,
have petitioned Congress to grant him
an annuity during his lifetime. What
a precedent it would establish, should
Congress heed the petition and grant
the favor asked. What score of
worthy poor would have petitions and
petitioners at the National capital, and
how the surplus in the treasury would
melt away through the charitable
benevolence of Congresses which saw
fit to follow such precedents set for
them. Whitman is poor and worthy;
he is entitled to pension perhaps, but
the laws do not entitle him to one. So
also are Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Blair,
widows of soldier-Senators, entitled to
pensions from the standpoint their
friends see their cases, but they are
not, no more than Whitman, under the
law.
Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Blair and the ven-
cradle Whitman may be pensioned by
the Government, but their pensoning
will not strike the public heart as
would the pensioning of the families of
the brave men who risked and lost their
own lives to save that of fellow be-
ing. Nor would pensions to Mrs. Lo-
gan, Mrs. Blair and Whitman meet the
same general appreciation of the peo-
pie that Il pension to these dependent
families would. Cases are rare indeed
where life is risked and lost to save
another; the establishment of prece-
dent to pension the families of hero
who gives up his own life in an at
tempt to save another would meet the
general, if not universal, approval OF
the people of this country. Itwould be
a precedent that would not promise n
continued and fearful drain upon the
treasury, and it would honor Con-
gress that so honored their country by
providing for National monument to
heroism.
Let the Government provide for the
families of the men who died so heroic
ally. Generous individuals may con-
tribute for time to their support out
of sympathy or for the sake of charity,
but for short time only. Let Con-
gress pension them, not in the name OF
charity but in the name of Americas
duty. No fault will be found with any
member of Congress who champions
such q bill.-Des Moinss Leader.

He could nmputate elbows or legs at the knee,

Female Teachers.

The Woman's Journal has been en-
phasizing the well-known fact that fe-
male teachers greatly preponderate in
this country. To so great an extent is
this true, that, in respect of elementary
schools, those cities are the exceptions
in which male teachers are employed,
save as principals, or teachers of some
special branch, say, German. Taking
the ten cities Of Baltimore, Boston,
Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati, New
Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, San
Francisco and st. Louis together, there
are 12,719 public school teachers, OF
whom II, $40 are women. The average
percentage of male teachers in these
cities is nine.
